Chapter 69 - Starting The Basketball Game. A Tough Cookie (2) (1/2)

The basketball team captain of Dongjiang Town Junior High School, Zhang Jun, had led his team players to the sports field early in the morning. When he saw Yun Jian, his eyes nearly squashed into straight lines from how much he was grinning.

With Yun Jiang playing in Xinjiang Town Junior High, the Dongjiang Town Junior High would definitely win!

A girl playing basketball. – Hah, they must be joking!

In fact, Zhang Jun was not the only one with this thought. The majority of Xinjiang Town Junior High’s teaching faculty and students shared the same worry.

A girl participating and playing against the basketball team of Dongjiang Town Junior High School was something that had never happened in recent years.

After all, it was a fact that girls were physically weaker than boys.

Could victory still be theirs?

Nonetheless, everyone watched in anticipation.

“Beep!”

The judge’s whistle was blown.

Both teams took their place.

There were three sets of matches for this basketball competition, the best of three would win. This meant that the first team to win two games would be considered the winner.

Compared to the other players who were fairly nervous, Yun Jian was in a great state of mind. She was not on edge at all from the basketball game.

As the sole girl on the basketball court of this competition, Yun Jian inevitably gained the spectators’ attention.

“I declare the start of the first game of the annual friendly basketball match between Xinjiang Town Junior High and Dongjiang Town Junior High. Players, get ready!”

“Ready… beep!”

The judge blew the whistle that signified the official beginning of the contest.

“Go, Yun Jian! Go, Yun Jian!”

Right as the whistle was blown and the match started, a thunderous and synchronized cheering erupted.

The spectators looked up in surprise toward where the shouting came from, only to see everyone from Class (6) of the ninth grade encouraging Yun Jian rhythmically.

The acclamation was deafening.
